SINGAPORE: A man in his 60s died in a fire that broke out in an HDB flat at MarineCrescent on Saturday morning.
His body was found by firefighters after they put out a fire in his unit on the 10th floor at Block 27.
Channel NewsAsia understands that the man was visually impaired.
Residents living above the 10th floor said they realised something was amiss when smoke started entering their homes.
JennyGoon, a resident who lives on the 17th floor, said: "My eldest daughter (was) still sleeping. I (woke her up and) called the immediate neighbour -- they were still sleeping. I told my daughter to shout... I called them out (and) we all went down."
Another resident who lives on the 10th floor, Albert Aw, said: "We tried to open the door and see what happened, but by then the smoke (was) already quite dense. We did not walk into the smoke, we closed the door... A while later, some minutes later, there was someone bashing on the door, and we found that it was the fireman, trying to break down the door to see if anyone was inside. We walked the staircase. It was actually quite bad, debris on the floor."
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it received a call about the fire at 9:30am.
The fire, confined to the living room and bedroom, was put out in 45 minutes.
An eyewitness told Channel NewsAsia an elderly couple lived in the unit.
The eyewitness said a resident called to inform the wife of the fire, who was not in the unit when the fire broke out.
Soon after, she and her son were seen outside the block.
Emeritus Senior MinisterGoh Chok Tong, who is also MP for Marine Parade GRC, was seen arriving to speak to the man's wife and two children.
Speaking to the media later, Mr Goh said the Town Council, the Residents' Committee and grassroots leaders would assist the family.
Mr Goh said, "We have given them telephone numbers so that they can contact a few numbers and we will serve as the touch point for them to clear other needs, which they might want to do.
"I went upstairs to have a look at the burnt apartment itself. As I said, no point speculating now, but let the police come over to report. When the report comes out, maybe later in the afternoon, then they can report factually.
Mr Goh said he had spoken to the fire department's commander, who told Mr Goh he arrived within three minutes of receiving the call.
Mr Goh said there were four teams of SCDF personnel sent to the scene.
It is all calm now, but eyewitnesses said there are many elderly residents living in the block.
Some also said they had difficulty accessing the only staircase in the block due to the heavy smoke, so they had to resort to taking the lift to evacuate.
On his Facebook page later on Saturday, Mr Goh said a meeting would be held soon to learn from the tragedy and to prevent a similar one from happening again.
Investigations are ongoing.

Races of StarCraft

Blizzard Entertainment's bestselling real-time strategy game series StarCraft revolves around interstellar affairs in a distant sector of the galaxy, with three species and multiple factions all vying for supremacy in the sector. The playable species of StarCraft include the Terrans, humans exiled from Earth who excel at adapting to any situation; the Zerg, a race of insectoids obsessed with assimilating other races in pursuit of genetic perfection; and the Protoss, a humanoid species with advanced technology and psionic abilities, attempting to preserve their civilization and strict philosophical way of living from the Zerg. Each of these races has a single campaign in each StarCraft real-time strategy game. In addition to these three, various non-playable races have also been part of the lore of the StarCraft series; the most notable of these is the Xel'Naga, a race which features prominently in the fictional histories of the Protoss and Zerg races.

The original game has sold over 10 million copies internationally, and remains one of the most popular games in the world. One of the main factors responsible for StarCraft's positive reception is the attention paid to the three unique playable races, for each of which Blizzard developed completely different characteristics, graphics, backstories and styles of gameplay, while keeping them balanced in performance against each other. Previous to this, most real-time strategy games consisted of factions and races with the same basic play styles and units with only superficial differences. The use of unique sides in StarCraft has been credited with popularizing the concept within the real-time strategy genre. Contemporary reviews of the game have mostly praised the attention to the gameplay balance between the species, as well as the fictional stories built up around them.

Flat (tennis)

A flat shot in tennis is made by striking the ball at a neutral level. Unlike the backspin and topspin the ball is hit with a swipe at neutral level. This effect is created by driving through the ball to push it forward rather than brushing up or down the back creating spin. The shot is commonly used for power and helps quicken the pace on the ball during play.

Uses of the Flat Shot

Flat shots have many applications in tennis, particularly on the serve.
The flat serve is most often used for a first serve, due to its speed and little room for error. Most flat serves fly straight through the air and bounce relatively medium-low in comparison to other types of serves. They are characterized by their speed and placement. A good flat serve should be aimed along the center of the court, where the net is lowest, in order to maximize chances of landing the serve. Although the placement of this serve is generally the same, its speed at arrival is often used to generate aces or service winners. Many professional players utilize strong flat serves, such as Robin Söderling and Andy Roddick.

Apartment

An apartment (in American and Canadian English) or a flat (in British English) is a self-contained housing unit (a type of residential real estate) that occupies only part of a building, correctly, on a single level without a stair. Such a building may be called an apartment building, apartment complex (in American English), apartment house (in American English), block of flats, tower block, high-rise or, occasionally mansion block (in British English), especially if it consists of many apartments for rent. In Scotland it is called a block of flats or, if it's a traditional sandstone building, a tenement, which has a pejorative connotation elsewhere. Apartments may be owned by an owner/occupier, by leasehold tenure or rented by tenants (two types of housing tenure).

Terminology

The term apartment is favoured in North America (although flat is used in the case of a unit which is part of a house containing two or three units, typically one to a floor) and also is the preferred term in Ireland. In the UK, the term apartment is more usual in professional real estate and architectural circles where otherwise the term flat is commonly, but not exclusively, for an apartment without a stair (hence a 'flat' apartment). Technically multi-storey apartments are referred to as 'duplex' (or 'triplex') indicating the number of floors within the property. Usage generally follows the British in Singapore, Hong Kong and most Commonwealth nations.

Flat (landform)

A flat is a relatively level surface of land within a region of greater relief, such as hills or mountains, usually used in the plural. The term is often used to name places with such features, for example, Yucca Flat or Henninger Flats. Flat is also used to describe other level geographic areas as mud flats or tidal flats.
